Assessing Quality Of mRNA Vaccines: Key ConsiderationsTo address the need for standards for mRNA vaccines, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has convened vaccine experts to identify important quality attributes and to propose test methods that can be used to assess mRNA vaccine products. This article shares those CQAs and analytical procedure tips.
SUPPLY CHAIN VIDEOS
In this Advancing RNA Live clip, CMC consultant Sujit Jain unpacks the levels of maturity he’s observed in process and analytical development, as well as supply chain. While vaccines and liver-targeting therapeutics boast what we can call a reproducible platform today, targeted LNP therapies introduce a handful of scale-up sensitivities and characterization hurdles.
What challenges do you consider the most formidable in your own mRNA therapeutic development environments?
While the speed of production and flexibility of mRNA are appealing, several industry challenges must still be addressed to realize the full potential and further expand its use.
As our molecules grow more complicated, so, too, does the supply chain. Here, Advancing RNA Live speakers Khaled Yamout & Camp4’s Satya Kuchimanchi talk through how this growth challenges our understanding of raw material quality and how sponsors can better assess their suppliers.
